PEER GHAEB WATER FALL (Photocontest tuesday )

A WONDERFUL PLACE

I travel to Quetta two years ago there I visited a waterfall it is a beautiful waterfall and a picnic point. The water is coming down from rocky mountain side splitting into many streams and ponds, surrounded with the shady palm trees. It is very beautiful spot for one-day picnic within the sprinkling water of it. The best time to visit the area is in winter, as there is too high temperature in summer..

MYTHICAL HISTORY

As Balochistan, carry mythical value in the province – the story of Peer Ghaib carries similar weight in the folklore of Balochistan. The story goes back hundreds of years – before there was Pakistan, before there was India or any other such state. The lands of Balochistan, especially the area between Quetta and Sibbi, Bolan was ruled by a wicked and crooked King who did not believe in GOD or any religion for that matter.

In a bid to convert and guide the scourge King to the right path, a brother and sister, Peer and Bibi Naani came to the valley and kingdom of Bolan to invite the King to GOD.

But King ordered his man to murder them, but they ran to escape, the king's man chased them they came a point in chase The sister went further ahead, but the Peer found himself locked from three sides . All that stood in front of the Peer was a mountain and behind him vicious men looking to murder him. It was there that the Peer prayed to Almighty. He saw a shovel-like-stick lying at his feet. He picked the stick up and struck the mountain with force out of nowhere, water started pouring out of the mountain while the Peer literally vanished inside the rocky surface. Thus, the valley found its name, Peer Ghaeb (The Saint who Vanished).

This Waterfalls is a worth-seeing tourist destination which is a magnificent spot in the whole arid zone.This Waterfall of Balochistan is basically a cascade waterfall and two separate waterfalls which are flowing into a larger clear and blue pool of cool water.
